I keep practically all my data in my CRM business tool. I need to constantly make notes though, using pencil and a writing pad with yellow paper - I've basically outsourced part of my short-term memory to these pads.

Is this a homework? Anyhow, biggest advantage of having a paperless office is that you are basically not using paper and are more environmental friendly. Disadvantage, if you do not have an adequate server and security then you can loose your data very easily.

I prefer paperless, all documents kept on PC with backups.

Now days most of the work is being done paperless since it is efficient and more organized due to the folders function on computers or tools like word and excel. However paper has its benefits since there are legal documents which need to be verified personally which later could be stored on the computer. Personally I would choose paperless but would not totally disregard paper.
